If you drive the same route every day, for instance commuting, your mind doesn't bother storing events it has experienced hundreds of times before. So, twenty minutes into the drive when you happen to try to think back to what has happened recently, you get nothing. Because, nothing of interest to your mind happened.
One of the reasons I like hypermiling. Every drive I'm actively engaged with the car and my surroundings, and in a fun way too.
Driving a manual helps with that.
